Oyarzabal’s late goal gives La Roja a 2-1 victory over England as they are crowned European champions for a record-breaking fourth time.

 

It was a cagey first half, with neither side creating too many chances of real note, but Spain ensured that wouldn’t happen in the second as they came out of the blocks flying.

 

Williams became the second-youngest goalscorer in a Euros final when he nestled a low shot into the bottom corner less than two minutes after the break, but England fought back.

 

Southgate’s substitutions paid off, with Palmer scoring just 142 seconds after coming onto the pitch.

 

Spain had a substitute of their own to thank for the victory, as Oyarzabal timed his run perfectly to poke in from close range in the 86th minute.

 

Though England gave one last push in an attempt to force extra time, Rice’s header was saved and Guehi’s cleared off the line in the dying moments.

 

Spain were the dominant side, creating 16 shots, compared to England who had nine.

 

Spain lift their first major trophy in 12 years. For England, it’s a familiar feeling having lost consecutive European Championships finals, and their wait to end their trophy drought goes on.
